Utah authorities have released the name of a man who died in a crash after the car he was in swerved to avoid a dog on Interstate 70.

The Utah Highway Patrol says 54-year-old Mitchell Osborne of Corona, Calif., was a passenger in the Toyota Camry driven by his wife. The two were traveling near Cisco in east-central Utah on Saturday when she swerved to miss a dog that was running along the roadway in traffic.

The car rolled and Osborne was thrown through the sunroof. He died at the scene.

Osborne's wife was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Colorado.

Osborne's seat belt was latched but troopers are investigating whether it was being used properly.
